  • A New Arrangement by Nick Halsey - We have another great piece arranged specifically for our group by BCP's very own composer, Nick Halsey ( www.CelloExpressions.com ), which we will be playing during our October playin. This piece is another member request! Nick has transcribed all four movements for us, but we only have time to play Hall of the Mountain King . Below is a video of the piece used to transcribe the piece for our group. This is going to be beautiful!!!
  • YouTube Channel - videos of our last session on September 22nd have been posted to our YouTube channel .

  • Beginner Ensemble Series with Clayton Vaughn - This 3-part series is for beginner to intermediate adult cellists to learn how to play in a group ensemble. We are aware that many adult beginners have not had the chance to play with others. This series will help cellists feel more comfortable joining our Play-in sessions; whereas our guided Play-ins are geared to have FUN and is not meant to provide individual instruction or lessons, this series will be geared towards ensemble skills and instruction to play with others; with the goal that more "beginner" cellists are able to join our sessions with more confidence and play comfortably with others. This series is not required to join our Play-ins. A fee will be assessed to join this series .
The date and time will be posted on our Meetup site once the event has been finalized. For more information on Clayton, visit his website at: www.ClaytonVaughn.com .
  • January Wine Tasting & Play-in Session - what a great pairing! To celebrate the the New Year, we have planned for a free wine tasting for members and their friends and family! Friends and family are also welcome to stay and watch the session in a fun, and relaxed play-in session. Details will be posted in November.

Thank you to our wonderful sponsors, members and volunteers, and please keep the feedback and suggestions coming!
